heypal16 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm not sure this is the area to go with this but I was thinking about buying a pair of Bluetooth Earbuds. I wanted to know how well they would work while riding my motorcycle on long rides with my I Phone or I Pod. From what I read in the Hammacher magazine that I have the ones they sell have a range of 32 feet from the unit which will most likely be in my pocket. With all the noise from the cycle itself would it be best to get a helmet with Bluetooth or the earbuds?ThanksLes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 My friend has one of the vega bluetooth helmets he said it's good to about 40-45mph then you can't hear the music over the wind noise from the crappy helmet. I would think you would get much better results from earbuds they would help eliminate some of the wind noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 there is a thread somewhere with a list of the earbuds people use. Personally I use the Skullcandy Asyms with the foam from JVC Marshmallows to cancel out more wind noiseWhen I got my iphone the thought of a bluetooth setup crossed my mind but the thought of having yet another thing I need to remember to charge before a long trip annoyed me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heypal16 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I forgot to mention these Bluetooth Earbuds are wireless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firedog Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sena SMH-10. You can get an earbud version as well as the in helmet speaker set-up. I know, considerably more $$ but the system flat works! I use mine exclusively for music since my ancient Palm Centro won't sync.The nice thing is you control volume, pause/play and fast forward/rewind all while your iPod/iPhone sits in a pocket or tank bag. It also is a bike to bike comm system. PLUS you can get 2fer packages which last I checked were going for $299.Seriously, give it a look.
